Intel Platform Update
Driving a Predictable Cadence of Product Updates
As part of our drive to deliver robust product and security assurance, we regularly release functional and security updates for supported products and services.
Due to the highly integrated nature of hardware, firmware, and software, product updates often require additional validation and integration from Intel’s ecosystem of partners participating in the coordinated vulnerability handling process.
Ecosystem partners include operating systems vendors, cloud service providers, independent firmware vendors, original equipment manufacturers and systems integrators who release validated updates through direct channels to their customers. The Intel Platform Update process facilitates the ecosystem coordination and vulnerability handling process, leading to the release of validated updates.
Why Is It Important?
The Intel Platform Update process seeks to enhance our ecosystem partners’ ability to validate and release updates for their products on a timely and predictable cadence to end customers; this is a key part of supporting our products after launch.
How Do I Get These Updates?
In some cases, updates are delivered by the operating system and in others, customers would receive updates from their original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Follow this link for a list of support sites.
